Brick red with crimson hues, it has a bouquet of ripe black cherries and lifted notes of vanilla oak. It has a medium bodied palate and has a beautiful balance of cassis fruits and oak spice. It has well integrated soft tannins and great length of flavor.
Cool night harvesting was followed by fermentation in small open fermenters. Post pressing, this wine was matured for 18 months, with a portion in American oak barrels. Careful blending has allowed us to deliver a wine with wonderful balance and flavour.
Lou Miranda 'The Signature' wines not only pay tribute to the mark Francesco left on his family, but are a symbol of the quality and craftsmanship that's been at the heart of Lou's decorated career. Made from estate grown vineyards in the Barossa Valley, these wines are stunning examples of all the Barossa has to offer.
Winemaking at Lou Miranda Estate has always been a passion that is reflected in our love of family, fine wines & cuisine. This is coupled with a dedication to excellence that has been passed through three generations of the Miranda family. Our latest estate release "The Signature" pays homage to the 40 years Lou Miranda has played a pivotal role in our family wine business.
